Err... first of all I'd suggest to fix the build mess:

kaffe       unstable  1:1.0.7-3     alpha arm m68k sparc
kaffe       unstable  1:1.1.1-1     s390
kaffe       unstable  1:1.1.1-5.2   hppa ia64
kaffe       unstable  2:1.1.4-1     i386 powerpc source

There seem to be four different versions of various architectures in
unstable.  Of course, this cannot go into testing.

If this package is powerpc+i386 only, you'll have to denote this in
the debian/control file, of course.

If powerpc+i386 only then yes, else no.

Why not before it is in testing?
